Ingredients: 1/2 cup orange juice; 1/2 cup lime juice; 2 tablespoons caraway seeds; 2 teaspoons grated orange zest; 6 lamb loin chops ( about 1-3/4 pounds); 1 tablespoon canola oil; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon pepper; 1/2 cup chicken broth; Fresh orange slices and parsley sprigs, optional

These aren't your ordinary lamb chops. I flavor them with juice squeezed from oranges and limes we grow ourselves plus a generous dash of caraway. The chops always turn out nice and tender.

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
6 lamb loin chops ( about 1-3/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
Fresh orange slices and parsley sprigs, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, caraway seeds and orange zest. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add lamb chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from lamb. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, brown chops on both sides in oil until a thermometer reads 160°. Season with salt and pepper. Remove chops and keep warm. Add broth and reserved marinade to the skillet; bring to a boil. Return chops to pan; reduce heat.
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer 10 minutes longer. Serve chops with the pan juices. Garnish with oranges and parsley if desired.
